tidbits


I'm starting NYU grad school part-time in a few weeks (while still working full-time).  I'm pretty psyched.  Not for the studying and the classes but because I feel I'm doing something tangibly proactive for myself.


I feel I should have done this a while ago but I'm going to start investing in stocks.  After reading books and magazines about this stuff (and having never taken even ONE Econ class in my life ... I didn't know what a stock was until late in college), I'm still a bit cloudy about the whole thing.  I think I got the basics down though.

I love where I work, I love everyone I work with and I love the company I work for.  After all the demoralizing crap I went through with my last job, it feels GREAT to say that.


I need to learn how to toughen up for the winter.  Staying at home is soooo boring... And I can't sleep at night because it's so cold in my house.  I have 2 down blankets over 1 quilt, I wear a t-shirt, 2 sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks...and I'm still shivering and waking up in the middle of the night like I'm sleeping on an iceberg.

Still writing reviews for Newsday.  Still enjoying it but I think I'm aching for something new...

After reading both Khaled Hosseini books, I need something funny to read.  So I picked a book about a guy who decides to live his life according to the Bible as literally as possible.  The premise sounds serious but it's such a good, funny book.

After a few months of not traveling anywhere, I'm suffering from major withdrawal from my vacation addiction.  Next one will be in January before classes start, I promise!

Goal of the winter: Get back those killer abs I used to have in high school.  I've been working out more and getting my muscle tone back but sexy mama can still be sexier.
